We're Building It Up, To Break It Back Down. (DragonsFlame/Vira)

[Josh Dragovalor]

Josh chuckled a bit as he finished calculations.

"Kaiden, you want to autopilot once we hit hyperspace?" he asked his R4 droid, who beeped in affirmative.

The ship lurched a bit, before taking off into the coldness of space...

Josh whistled a tune that sounded like it was from the old Mickey Mouse cartoons as he steered the ship into outer space. Once preparations were complete, Josh strapped himself in.

"Hold onto your hats... I mean... Hoods" Josh said, referring to his guest as the ship whipped back, going smack dab into hyperspace.

"WOOHOO!" Josh shouted as they roared through hyperspace's opening dash, the first semi-childish thing to come out of the Jedi's mouth.

Finally, the ship came to a restful and brisk pace as they soared through the currents of hyperspace. Josh admired the blue and black around them out the window, before cracking his neck, and muttering something about "The karking kinks, why the karking kinks" and then stretching as he stood up, kicking his legs out to get out the hyperspace numbness.

"Alright Kaiden, you're on autopilot duty" he said, to the droid who beeped in affirmative. A second set of beeps came out that were translated on the screen in front of them. The words read, in Basic, "Another pretty one? Is this another senator drop off errand?"

Josh chuckled in response. "Nah. Personal, not business" he said.

Another set of beeps rang out, to which the droid said "Use protection".

Josh shook his head, a smirk on his face as he facepalmed. "It's the kind of personal as in... Ok, for lack of a better term, it's just not THAT personal" he corrected.

He walked out of the cockpit and to the bar, pouring himself a drink as he tried to relax, chugging it down and putting the glass away.

Vira sat silently in the cockpit, observng the hyperspace current in the window through the Force. It was almost.... ALIVE...... She placed her hands in her lap, tilting her head down slightly. She decided to meditate for a time, gathering herself in the quiet of space.

Josh looked over at Vira, considering speaking to the Miraluka... But he saw she was happily content to do her meditating in her seat.

He took a breath. There was much to do once he returned to Coruscant... Study the plans, pinpoint the facility's location, figure out how much resistance there would be, how much the simulation machines could take, gather explosive charges, have a hidden backup squad at the ready if needed, as well as contact Saoirse, who had promised she would be coming with Josh for this semi-personal mission.

But for now... He needed to meditate on what was going on. He found the meditation chambers, which also worked as a sparring room if you clicked the giant pod in the middle of the room back into it's hole. Josh pressed a button and the large pod burst from the floor. Another button and it opened... He had heard things like these were once used by the Sith Lord Darth Vader back when the Empire was the man in the galaxy, who ruled with an iron fist, at it's head the Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious...

But years had passed. Things like these were amazing meditation tools... Giving the comfort and relaxation needed to become lost in the Force for hours and hours on end... And some Jedi, like himself, had taken to using these.

Josh stepped into the pod as it opened, before sitting down, crossing his legs, and meditating...

As time passed, an aura began to radiate through the air in the chamber.... Through the Force.... And it was there it was proven that despite his outgoing personality, Josh was deep inside completely pure in the light side of the Force... And anyone who stepped in the chamber would be able to feel it as the aura in the force, which was almost visible for force users in which it radiated a light blue color...

Josh sadly had neglected to close the doors, being too weary after the fight and the excitement on Dantooine to do so.. And the aura began to spread out through the ship. As it reached the cockpit, Vira could feel it through the Force... Driving a sudden feeling of happiness and joy inside of her involuntarily as it radiated around...

It was around this point that Josh realized he might have forgotten something. Opening his eyes a tic, he realized his mistake and pressed a button on the pod, remembering what had happened last time he had forgotten. The door to the chambers closed, and within a minute the aura was gone from the cockpit, instead being concentrated heavily inside of the chamber with the pod inside...

And with that, Josh closed his eyes, relaxed, and began to lose himself in the Force once again...

Vira felt the sudden euphoria of the Force ease around her like a blanket. She relaxed her shoulders as it swept around her, breathing deeply. And then, it was gone. In it's wake, it left a hollow space where Vira had been before. Hungrily, she searched the ship throught the force, trying to find the feeling again. She could see Josh meditating in a strange room. When she used her senses to spproach it, she culd feel the aura, ever so faintly, again. She willed her mind to stay in that place for a long while, letting the tiny sliver of force aura bring her what little peace it could...

And as he meditated, the aura returned, much stronger as it was confined to that one room....

Hours passed, Josh hadn't moved or even twitched.... He opened his eyes faintly as the real world came into view again. The aura, having been in the room for so long, hung around in the air as Josh stood to his feet, kicking his legs and stretching his shoulders.

It was there he looked over, and saw Vira. He wondered... What was she doing here?

But it wasn't Vira after all... He could sense her... But she wasn't directly in the room... Why was that?

[Vira Nalor]

Vira could see Josh through the Force as he rose from his place of meditation. He appeared confused, as if he was looking right at her. But it wasn't her. It was her mind projecting her through the Force. That small look of confusion ripped Vira's mind back to herself. She gasped, the jerk of being in herself again moving her slightly. No one had ever actually seen her Mind-Presence before.........

[Josh Dragovalor]

Josh took a breath when she gasped, curious as to her intentiond.

He walked out of the room, to the cockpit, and to Vira, tilting his head curiously. She was a rather strange one...

[Vira Nalor]

Vira rose from her seat, and turned to him. "How did you see me?" She asked.
@[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

He shrugs. "I just.... Did" he admitted, sighing. "No idea" he added. He wondered what exactly she had done, and how he had seen it...

[Vira Nalor]

vira came a little closer to him. "You sre stronger tha I realized...." She said.

[Josh Dragovalor]

He raised an eyebrow as she came closer to him, watching her every move warily...

[Vira Nalor]

Vira gingerly placed her finger tips on his chest. She could feel the light inside of him. It spresd like a warmth through her being. "It is....Warm..." She mumbled, taking in as much as she could.

[Josh Dragovalor]

He watched her closely, nodding slowly. He took a breath, closing his eyes, taking in the aura around them...

@[member="Vira Nalor"]

 

[Vira Nalor]

Vira's head tilted downward, facing the ground. If she could cry, she would. This feeling.........She had never experienced a hapiness like this before.....
@[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

He tilted his head, seeing her look downward. She looked like she could cry...

So he hugged her. Like any sensible human being would.

@[member="Vira Nalor"]

 

[Vira Nalor]

Vira let Josh hug her. She'd never been hugged before, either. She leaned into him. "Thank you," She whispered.
@[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

He sighed and nodded as he tightened the hug for a few moments, letting the embrace continue until she wanted out.

"Anytime.." he whispered.

[Vira Nalor]

Vira stood there, her head and hands against his chest. She stood for a long time while he hugged her, bathing in the the aura that came from him. Slowly, she backed away from him. She took a deep, silent breath, letting her chest slowly rise and fall. "Your light......I can feel it now. It is.........It is so beautiful......." She said. She knew that beautiful was an inaccurate word to describe the briliance of what she felt from it, but it was all that she could say.

[Josh Dragovalor]

He smiled a bit. He wasn't sure what exactly he had done, but if he had made a difference in this girl's life... So be it. He was happy.

[Vira Nalor]

Vira walked back to her seat. It was hard to pull herself away from something so profound, so warming to her. But to linger would be inappropriate. So, she sat down in her seat with a small sigh, trying to remember the feeling.
